Abandoned and broken on Mustafar, Darth Vader must evade Ochii of Bestoon, repair himself, and investigate a strange new presence in the Force.
The Emperor left Darth Vader broken and alone on Mustafar as punishment for wallowing in grief after investigating Senator Amidala’s death. Now, Vader must repair himself without the aid of the Force. It won’t be easy though. The Emperor has dispatched Ochii of Bestoon, the assassin of the Sith, to instill fear in Darth Vader. Even without the Force, Vader isn’t helpless though. He has a few tricks of his own. But, just when Vader starts to learn of the Emperor’s plans, a mysterious being makes itself known to Vader.
On this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- Vader’s memories and thoughts on the past,
- How Darth Vader manages to repair himself using an unlikely ally,
- The arrival of Ochii of Bestoon and Vader’s conflict with him,
- Darth Vader beginning to investigate the Emperor’s plans, and
- Darth Vader’s discovery of the Eye of Webbish Bog.
